Chapter 701 Waiting for You
In Totsuka Ayaka's eyes, Hayama Kazuto is a senior who is capable of imparting knowledge and answering questions when it comes to tennis. He has no idea that, including this tennis match, Hayama Kazuto only played tennis for more than an hour in total.
Therefore, when Totsuka Ayaka asked him how to improve his playing skills, Yuyama Kazuto could only grope in the dark and give a casual answer.
To be honest, that answer was very empty and without any nutrition. What Yushan Kazuto didn't expect was that after hearing it, Totsuka Ayaka actually reflected on it, and he responded casually afterwards, which made him feel a little bit trapped now.
"If you ask me, when it comes to tennis, the most important thing is to use great force to create miracles." Yushan Kazuto thought for a long time, and finally said solemnly.
This statement is a universal template for any sport that requires strength.
And strength is actually what Totsuka Ayaka lacks. Although Yushan Kazuto did not hit the point, he just hit Totsuka Ayaka's sore spot.
His biggest weakness is strength, but he is pretty good in skills and athleticism.
However, it is still difficult to train strength, and Ayaka Totsuka's body is not naturally strong. Therefore, during normal training, he pays more attention to playing to his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses, and tries his best to strengthen his advantages in skills and athletic ability.
But after seeing the almost violent tennis played by Kazuto Hayama, Ayaka Totsuka realized that no matter how high she improved her skills and athletic ability, she was destined not to be able to catch such a ball.
"So, Yushan-san, can you tell me how to train my strength?"
Looking at the determined eyes of Totsuka Ayaka, Yushan Kazuto had the urge to confess to him, I am born with supernatural powers, I will reveal my cards!
However, after careful consideration, Yushan Heren still felt that it was a bit unfriendly to confess directly, so he decided to use a roundabout approach.
"It's actually very simple. Just run ten kilometers a day, do a hundred push-ups, a hundred sit-ups, and a hundred squats. That's enough."
"Really? Thank you, Yushan-san. I will try it out starting tomorrow... no, today!"
Yushan Heren blinked his eyes. What he said was so outrageous. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was just an ordinary fitness level. So it seemed like this kid had acquired some peerless magic skill.
Hayama Kazuto gave Yukinoshita Yukino a wink, and Yukinoshita Yukino turned her body to the side, as if she didn't see Hayama Kazuto's action.
Yukinoshita Yukino didn't expect that even though she was already a high school student, she would still have such naive classmates.
What she could not have imagined was that Yushan Kazuto would actually deceive a naive classmate in this way. This was already a scam.
"Then we'll be leaving first. I'd also like to trouble you, Totsuka-san, to return this racket from the school sports club!"
After chatting for a few more sentences, Yushan and others waved goodbye and left with an excuse.
Yukinoshita Yukino followed behind, but kept a distance from Hayama Kazuto.
"Hey, Yukinoshita, there's nothing shameful about walking with me, right? I wasn't sweating when I played tennis just now."
Looking at Yukinoshita Yukino who was a little behind, Yuyama Kazuto couldn't help but say.
It’s not that Yuyama Kazuto wants to stand shoulder to shoulder with Yukinoshita Yukino, but mainly because today’s actions were planned by Yukinoshita Yukino. If he lets her walk behind him, Yuyama Kazuto will have to keep an eye on the situation behind him at all times.
He had neither compound eyes nor white eyes, so he had to turn his head to look behind him. If he maintained this posture all the time, Yushan Heren suspected that he would get cervical spondylosis after walking around for a whole day.
Yukinoshita Yukino silently took a few steps forward and walked to the side of Hayama Kazuto. Facing the wind, the two walked to the school gate. On the right side of the gate, Hayama Hayato stood like a door god.
Yukinoshita Yukino looked in the direction of Hayato Hayama and said, "You go over there."
Yushan Kazuto blinked and said, "Are you just going to push me into the fire pit?"
"If Yeshan is a fire pit, then you should be the core of the sun." Yukinoshita Yukino said slowly.
"Can I understand that you are praising me for being as dazzling as the sun and shining everywhere?" Yushan Kazuto said with a smile.
In front of acquaintances, Yushan Heren can still joke around shamelessly.
Yukinoshita Yukino rolled her eyes at Yushan Kazuto, but for some reason, deep in her heart, she actually felt a sense of agreement.
Yushan Kazuto walked forward, walked a few steps to the school gate, and stopped beside Hayama Hayato: "Where are they?"
"Go back." Hayato Hayama suddenly turned his head, with a somewhat cold look in his eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't bring Yang No with me today." Yushan Heren sneered.
Hayato Hayama's feelings for Yukinoshita Haruno are obvious, but unfortunately, he is destined to have no hope.
Firstly, there is still some distance between Hayato Hayama's family and the Yukinoshita family, and Hayato Hayama's father is just the legal adviser of the Yukinoshita family.
Second, Yukinoshita Haruno herself is not very interested in Hayama Hayato, and the reason for her lack of interest is related to Hayama Hayato's family.
It has to be said that Yukinoshita Haruno is a slightly contradictory person. She is both realistic and romantic, but she only shows the realistic side to others and the romantic side to the small part that she really cares about.
There are not many people in that small group. Yukinoshita Yukino counts as one, Hayama Kazuto counts as one, and maybe... Hiratsuka Shizuka counts as one too?
Hayato Hayama did not respond to what Kazuto Yushan said. He knew Kazuto Yushan very well. He only needed to follow his words and say a few words.
After that, I might not be able to control my emotions.
Seeing that Hayayama Hayato didn't take the bait, Yushan Kazuto just smiled and said, "Yayama, they all went back, why are you still staying here?"
Hayato Hayama turned around and looked directly at Kazuto Hayama: "Wait for you."
"Just call me 'you'? Do you remember how your father called me?" Yushan Kazuto grinned.
Hayato Hayama was speechless for a moment. His father always addressed Hayama Kazuto respectfully - Master Hayama!
But actually, Yushan Kazuto quite disliked this title, as it always sounded a bit weird. But in front of Hayama Hayato, he didn't mind pretending to be powerful and using Hayama Hayato's father to put pressure on him.
"You..." Hayato Hayama was speechless for a moment. Strictly speaking, Hayama Kazuto and he were in a superior-subordinate relationship, and the difference was not just one or two levels.
"Tell me, what are you waiting for me here for? If it's nothing important, don't waste your time." Yushan Kazuto snorted, turned his head and no longer looked at Hayama Hayato.
"Hayama Kazuto! At the national competition, I will let you see the changes in our Sobu." Hayato Hayama gritted his teeth and wanted to say a few harsh words, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them.
Chapter 702 Christmas Gift
"Where are we going next?" asked Yushan Kazuto while sitting in the car.
Yukinoshita Yukino looked straight ahead and said, "Nakajima Bookstore, do you know where it is?"
"Although I really want to say I know, I'm very sorry." Yushanhe spread his hands and said, "Sorry, I'm not familiar with you Chiba."
"Drive to the road first, then go west." Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Yushan Kazuto and said.
Yushan Kazuto blinked, not quite understanding why Yukinoshita Yukino wanted to go to the bookstore, but he didn't think much about it and started the car.
Nakajima Bookstore is not far from Sobu. After all, places like bookstores mainly do business with students.
After getting off the bus and walking a few steps, I arrived at the door of the bookstore. There was a big banner with Christmas sale at the door.
There is a Christmas tree at the door, which is hung with gifts. As long as you spend more than 3,000 yen in the store, you can participate in the lottery. It is said that the grand prize is a trip for two to a hot spring in Hokkaido!
Kazuto Yuyama also has no idea why Japanese businesses always like to give away free hot spring trips for two in Hokkaido when they hold promotions. It may sound a bit high-end, but at the same time it is relatively economical.
After all, traveling to Hokkaido is much more economical than places like Hawaii and Europe.
"There's quite a Christmas atmosphere here, and the smell of money is everywhere." Yushan Kazuto said with a smile.
Festivals like Christmas and Valentine's Day are typical consumer festivals. In fact, they are essentially similar to festivals like Double Eleven and June 18th. The only difference is between being undisguised and having a fancy name.
Yukinoshita Yukino ignored Yuyama Kazuto's complaints and walked into the bookstore.
There are many beautiful posters posted in the store, and quite a few authors are releasing new books during the Christmas period.
The poster for the third volume of "Love Metronome" is naturally not absent, but among so many colorful posters, the poster for the third volume of "Love Metronome" is not very conspicuous.
Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes wandered among the posters, and when she saw the poster of "Love Metronome", a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She turned around and wanted to walk into the bookshelf area.
"Is there a book you want to read?" Looking at Yukinoshita Yukino's expression, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but ask.
"Yeah." Yukinoshita Yukino did not deny it.
It was only 9:30 in the morning, and the bookstore had just opened. When I walked into the bookstore, it felt empty.'
Nakajima Bookstore is very large, at least ten times larger than the small bookstore near Shinmachi Apartment, and more than a hundred times larger than the small bookstore downstairs in the apartment where Kazuto Yuyama used to live.
The decoration inside the bookstore is also very elegant, with a literary atmosphere. Many people are attracted by the atmosphere of the bookstore and choose to buy books at Nakajima Bookstore.
However, because it is Christmas now, the layout of the bookstore has changed a lot compared to the past, and it has a more festive atmosphere.
Some toys, peripherals, gaming electronics and other products are placed in more prominent positions to "conveniently" allow parents to buy gifts for their children.
Yukinoshita Yukino went straight to the new book section, and Yuyama Kazuto followed her.
Although there were no books he wanted to read, he was shopping with Yukinoshita Yukino after all.
"The Sea of Niger, isn't Niger a landlocked country?" Looking at the title of the book in Yukinoshita Yukino's hand, Yushan Kazuto felt a little puzzled.
Niger is clearly a landlocked country in Central Africa, located on the southern edge of the Sahara. There are not even a few lakes in the entire country, let alone the ocean.
Just by looking at the title, Yushan Kazuto completely lost his mind. The sea of Niger, isn't that as ridiculous as the Mongolian navy?
Of course, what is even more ridiculous is that Mongolia does have a navy, and the navy has a long history. However, the Mongolian navy does not undertake military activities, but is only responsible for cargo transportation, and it was privatized in the 1990s.
That is, if you financed the purchase of ships for the Mongolian Navy and were willing to provide salaries for a navy of up to seven people, you would be the Minister of the Navy of Mongolia.
Yukinoshita Yukino flipped through the book and said, "The 'sea' in the title means 'sand sea', not the sea."
If it is a sea of sand, it can be barely justified, after all, Niger is located on the southern edge of the Sahara, in the north of the country, and you can enjoy a panoramic view of the endless Sahara Desert.
But the pattern on the cover is not the Sahara Desert, but the Cape of Good Hope!
Yukinoshita Yukino flipped through the book a few times, then put it down. After reading it for a few more times, she felt that the whole book was a bit of a whining thing. There were all kinds of incomprehensible things like the sea in the heart and the sea of ideals, which were just a simple piling up of philosophical concepts.
She admitted that she was attracted by the title of the book, but after reading a few pages, she found that the quality of the book was somewhat different from what she had imagined.
Yukinoshita Yukino picked up another book and flipped through it casually. The illustrations were quite beautiful, but the content was a little hard to describe.
After a brief selection, Yukinoshita Yukino picked up her original target, "Love Metronome".
"Do you like reading this book?" Yushan Heren blinked and asked.
"Take a look occasionally and relax." said Yukinoshita Yukino.
"Love Metronome" has delicate writing style and a very good plot design. Although there are not so many ups and downs, there is a unique beauty in the plainness.
Kazuto Yuyama scratched his head, he didn't expect that both Kato Megumi and Yukinoshita Yukino liked this book.
"I remember Kato also likes this book." said Yukinoshita Yukino.
"Well, it is true
This." Yushan and Ren said.
Although Kato Megumi and Yukinoshita Yukino both like "Love Metronome", Hayama Kazuto can only use it as a sleep-aid reading. So far, he has not opened the second volume that Kasumigaoka Utaha gave him.
"I heard that Kato went traveling?" Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly asked.
"Well, she went to Shikoku with her family." Yushan Kazuto said.
Sometimes, Kazuto Yuyama felt that the Kato family seemed to live a very carefree life. They would organize a family trip every summer and winter vacation.
Yukinoshita Yukino paused, turned back to the new book section, and picked up another copy of "Love Metronome": "This one will be my Christmas gift to Kato."
"Hey, Huiyuan has Christmas presents in Shikoku, so where is my Christmas present?" Yushan Kazuto asked with his head tilted. He looked like a child eagerly waiting for a Christmas present.
Yukinoshita Yukino felt a chill, glanced at Yushan Kazuto, walked to the children's book area, and quickly took out a book.
"This is for you."
Yukinoshita Yukino put a "Peppa Pig" picture book in Kazuto Hayama's hand. Kazuto Hayama blinked and glanced at the price.
Chapter 703: Only this point, you perfectly match Qianye's true character
"You didn't choose this one on purpose just to get enough for the lottery, did you?"
To be honest, this "Peppa Pig" picture book has beautiful artwork and is made of very solid materials, all made of very durable kraft paper. It is priced at 1,500 yen, which is really not very expensive in the Japanese book market.
But what is very coincidental is that the price of a copy of "Love Metronome" is 750 yen, while the Christmas lottery at Nakajima Bookstore requires a purchase of 3,000 yen to enter.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but suspect that Yukinoshita Yukino was deliberately making up the price difference.
Hearing Yushan Kazuto's question, Yukinoshita Yukino said nothing, took the book and walked to the cashier.
After paying the bill and getting the raffle ticket, Yukinoshita Yukino walked under the Christmas tree.
"You come and draw the lottery." Yukinoshita Yukino handed the lottery ticket to Yushan Kazuto.
"What if I can't draw it?" Yushan Kazuto blinked. He didn't expect that Yukinoshita Yukino would give him such a difficult task.
"No problem." Yukinoshita Yukino said, "Besides, the winning rate is 100%."
Only then did Yushan Kazuto notice the probability notice board next to the Christmas tree. As long as he participated in the lottery, he would at least get a participation prize.
Of course, to be honest, it’s better not to have this kind of consolation participation prize, as it will end up in the trash anyway.
"Don't travel to Hokkaido. Don't travel to Hokkaido."
